Hydro-Force Quick Release Waist Belt

The Hydro‑Force™ quick release belt for paddle boards is an essential safety accessory for paddleboarding on flowing water or where there are hazards underwater that your leash could get caught on if you fall in. This includes tidal estuaries and currents in rivers. 
 

This adjustable SUP belt features a secure clasp with a swift-release toggle mechanism, enabling rapid detachment from the board during emergencies. Simply connect your existing ankle leash to the loop on the belt. To ensure optimal functionality, trim the excess strap to leave approximately 6 inches passing through the buckle.

 
The main reason for using a quick release belt is to prevent complications due to entanglement. If you come off your paddle board in flowing water conditions, there is a risk of your leash becoming tangled or stuck on underwater objects. Without a quick release belt you would struggle to detach yourself from the board and be caught in a dangerous and compromising situation.  
 

Prioritize safety during your adventures by utilizing the Hydro-Force™ quick release belt in conjunction with your leash in flowing water conditions. For further water safety insights and leash recommendations, explore additional resources.

 
Please note that guidance from British Canoeing (the Governing Body for Stand Up Paddleboarding) advises that you DO NOT use any leash system while paddling on white water.
